I saw the original screening in 1969.
I remember everything, every feeling as the songs rolled out. Let It Be, Across the Universe, Long and Winding, I Me Mine. And Billy Preston. It was as though magic was being made in front of me.
It remains their best work, despite the toxicity, it was, and is the Beatles fulcrum.
They were coasting on their own momentum. It was over. The white album was the last time they were together as a real band, and that was when they were growing apart
@@thomasminarchickjr.7355 I believe you're right. Bands (like marriages) have a short shelf life. LIB marks their fragmentation, but boy, was it good.
While Let It Be was the fulcrum, or pinnacle, I always considered the White Album by far their most complete and fullest work as a band, the album that convinced me of their musical supremacy over all others. I play these songs regularly on guitar. How couldn't I? They are amazing!
I was 10 yrs old, that evening, remember in the backyard staring up at the moon in awe. Kinda neat knowing exactly what the Beatles were doing in one of those snapshots in my lifetime
Wow!
How are you doing?
Linda
John was going through his primal scream phase, so he was yelling, screaming and crying all the time. Ringo said after seeing John during this period, that the old John was gone forever. John even looked different. Between primal scream and transcendental meditation, it’s a miracle he was functional at all.
There is no evidence that probed that mediation or primal screaming leads people to lose functioning.
(and heroin)
Whenever you see John with a beard you know it’s his heroin faze. It lucky didn’t last long but between heroin/Yoko/ and Allen Klein that was the end of The Beatles.
Don't forget the dozens and dozens of LSD trips. John's lucky he didn't end up another Syd Barrett.
I remember hearing none of them attended the premier in London.
Great piece, v. interesting - didn’t know about the July 69 screening.
They seemed all so thrilled to be there.
😂
Wow, didn't know that John cried after watching the movie.
Doesn’t bode well, does it?
✌️
According to Jann Wenner, but then again he is a journalist and editor of Rolling Stone magazine so believe what you will.
@@andydixon2980 Nowadays Rolling Stone is a steamy pos, maybe back then had more credibility, but now i doubt it 🤣
Maybe he cried because the movie was so awful. I'm a big Beatles fan, but that album sucks!
@@stealthbastard8837 RS really is terrible nowadays. Like having sh** rubbed into your eyes reading it.
From a historical stand point I think it's cool the original movie is getting a re release in higher quality but I'd still say if you want the authentic way of watching it you've got to see the Peter Jackson version
When Peter Jackson made Get Back he intentionally tried not to reuse anything from Let it Be to the point where even if the audio for a certain part was the same he'd try to use an alternate shot. Having seen both I think it is good to watch both of them as they each have their own unique character and don't cross over too much.
It IS odd that Jane Asher attended the premier. Wonder if that's true. She always seemed like a class act. The one that got away. But what the hell do I know.
Does it make her any less classy? I don't think so.
@@sebastiamarques3274 Huh? Who said anything about it making her less classy? She's a class act, that's all there is to it.
Linda was a better fit and the surge of respect Wings enjoys now includes her harmonies. Perfect mate for Paul.
What a shame John never got to see his performance of 'Yer blues' on the Stones 'Rock and Roll circus' tv show in Dec 1968. It was never shown until the mid-1990s.
I watched the new "Let It Be" on the 8th and now I'm watching "Get Back" for the first time.
Beatles forever ❤
All the Beatles are great, but there was always something more special about John Lennon.
I saw it in the theater with A Boy Named Charlie Brown as a double feature. I was 7. I remember girls screaming at the screen.
2:15 - How odd that women from a different era showed up for the premiere of Let it Be. Another odd thing is that Jane Asher and Cynthis Lennon looked exactly the same in 1970 while their former respective mates look like entirely different people.
Probably left bummed out.
I was in England in the summer of 1976 and saw this on the BBC after being on Savile row that same day.
Yup, remember the Beeb airing it that summer 1976. It was a hot summer and I was in Cornwall
@@douglasb5046 I was there the whole month an it nevered rained the whole time until the day I left for the airport - Very hot summer indeed.
@@mrsullyrox yup but September came a deluge and I remember my geography master saying that 1976 would NOT go down in history as a dry year because of the VERY wet September
i have that t shirt,, wore it last week,,.
John was a slave to his emotions. It's not coincidental that his viewing of this movie, representing that period, edited as it was, so colored his recollections in the "Lennon remembers" narrative. It's unfortunate his mischaracterizations and distortions of so many things related to the Beatles CONTINUE to shape public opinion to this day.
The bottles😂😂😂😂
Great info! I remember the same batch of leaked photographs also had some shots of John's walrus and eggmen if you get me.
lol
Very interesting.
❤❤❤❤
Fantastic 👍
Back when people had the freedom to smoke in public places.
Is that George’s mom in the right corner of the first photo?
Too much John and Yoko? Yeah right, they cut the footage of Paul writing Get Back which is the only footage in existence of a Beatle writing a song from scratch. This is the greatest scene in Get Back and it’s absolutely criminal that it did not make the cut in Let it Be. One jealous Lennon methinks.
A set-up for the camera I reckon. I don't think he wrote it then.
@@gettinhungrig8806 possibly, but we know for sure John tried that trick when he pretended to be writing Across the Universe from scratch, asking Yoko to write down the lyrics which he made out were spontaneous. We now know the song was writing a year previously.
Just six weeks before John quit the band.
They were on their way out of the Beatles they weren't getting along yoko didn't break up the Beatles the Beatles did come on now
They never saw the movie together, get your facts straight.
I’ve been watching the Get Back series this last week - it’s hard going! To be honest I think I’ll be taking a long break from The Beatles after I’ve finished watching it!
I rather enjoyed that series, what is rough for you?
Hard going? It’s brilliant and engaging start to finish. Maybe you just don’t like the Beatles.
what the Hell did John see in
Yoko we will never no
John should of stayed with
is first wife instead of marrying Yoko ono
and the four members
of the Beatles should of
been in the abbey Road
studio with out Yoko ono
Being there Harrison
McCartney and Ringo
was not happy with Lennon
when he turned up with Yoko
and Yoko was to Domenirwin
Lennon should never met
Yoko ono . John Lennon
and once again Lennon
should of stayed with his
first wife instead of Yoko
and I think Yoko is Responsible for Beatles
splitting up. all. I can say
is Rest in peace John
and George Harrison
You’re full of 💩. Funny thing is if John read this he’d probably slap you lmaooo
I'm not sure what "Domenirwin" is, but I'm guessing it's bad?
Goodness sake, just move on.
JoJo had the best H at that time.....ask KEEF
You’re delusional. Bieber boy
Did they get paid in cigarettes 😂
Yoko is surely a scourge on the Beatles legacy. John needed a mother and she figured it out.
My theory is that all those LSD trips wrecked his ego, which created the vacuum that allowed Yoko to be the mother substitute. And it's totally cringe every time I hear John calling her "Mother".
Frank Zappa's 200 motels is great and shitty at the same time. same as Let IT BE SHOWING THE BEATLES AS NOT A TIGHT LIVE BAND AT ALL
Too much of John and Yoko? True fans wanted to see the four Beatles, not anything of her, who was always trying to steal the limelight.
It's sad so many hold Ono in a place of contempt. There must have been reasons. Linda, Patti and Maureen were never seen as interlopers. John loved her. Or rather the IDEA of her. That's life.
@@jamesdrynanLinda, Patty, and Maureen also didn't sit beside their husband/boyfriends every minute while the band was recording, and didn't have beds brought into the studio.
It most have been horrendous for Paul George and Ringo ‼️❗️
@@jamesdrynanOno hat die Beatles zerstört. Falls Paul und Ringo die Ono überleben sollten, werden sie hoffentlich die Wahrheit über die Beatles-Ono Geschichte erzählen. Allerdings werden die Onos uralt.
Let it go it’s bloody decades ago, they grew up and became men who wanted their own lives and John wanted Yoko. Good for them.
wtf is on top of your head?
Hair
@@TheBeatlesWoW Seemed obvious to me I'm surprised anyone asked.😉
All talk. No Clips.
Sadly no film footage available. If you know of any please let me know
Get rid of Yoko Ono
That must have been some AMAZING acid. Hare Krishna
John breaking down is odd as he broke it all up in a fit. Brilliant man but very capable of making very bad decisions.
The Beatles- dead from self-inflicted wounds from, and mental illness of, John Lennon, the working class hero and mega rich narcissist.
Mega rich socialist
@@fci1 socialist? Maybe sorta from 1970 to 1971. As soon as the US govt told him they didn‘t like his politics he dropped socialism and the peace movement like a hot potato. Anyways, his brief activism was always for the greater glory of John Lennon. He was a narcissist above all.
death of The Beatles started when Paul died and Shears took over.....
@sableonblonde1973 In a way, yes. For decades I, like many, carefully nurtured and kept the Beatles mythology. This includes the myth of Lennon the peace activist and gentle soul. It has taken that long to shatter the myths and realize what was really happening. It is tragic that Lennon’s problems led to the early demise of the Beatles. You could argue too that his problems led to the early waning of his artistic talent, since his last great songs were written in 1971, 9 years before his passing. After that they were all pretty much forgettable.
The recent "Get Back" marathon managed to make The Beatles something they'd never been before ... boring.
The Beatles were human. Recording studio sessions are ALWAYS boring.
Walter Bagehot said, "We must not let daylight in upon the magic".
I disagree.
Here comes the sun and I say, it's alright. 🌞
